10 Working collaboratively with project cities to fulfill Covenant obligations Measures for building sector Weatherization municipal building, sport school, 3 kindergarten, 7 residential building; Energy Efficient Lamps - 7 residential buildings, 5 municipal buildings, outdoor and decorative lighting Solar Water heaters 3 kindergarten Monitoring of energy consumption and saving Measures for transport sector Improvement of infrastructure roads rehabilitation; Improvement of inter-tow transport scheme ; Renovation of municipal transport/park; Measures for Greens Sector Renovation of Green Parks RESULT - CO2 emissions decreasing by 26 % by 2020

11 Future Activities within CoM Grant Projects Demo Projects in Gori Municipality and Self-governing Rustavi City Implementation of EE and/or Renewable Energy Measures is selected Municipal Buildings of Pilot and Project Georgian cities Energy Usage Study of Municipal Buildings Purpose: To conduct a study of energy efficiency of the buildings of public sector (under the authority of municipality) in pilot towns of the project and to develop a comprehensive program of thermo-modernisation of the buildings of public sector to improve their energy efficiency, reduce consumption of energy resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions of the town in total. Energy usage study must facilitate the implementation of the following important tasks: The data gathered in the Energy usage study and analysis made have to lay the basis of Sustainable Energy Action Plan concerning budget buildings. The Program of thermo-modernisation of the buildings of public sector(under the authority of municipality) to improve their energy efficiency, reduce consumption of energy resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions of the town in totalhas to be developed.

14 Training on Energy Audit in Rustavi, Georgia, April 2012 Training was implemented in agreement with the city of Rustavi, the town where ESIB is going to implement an integrated pilot project; The objective of this training was to let the participant to perform the energy audit by themselves. The sixteen trainees were mainly coming from the Energy Efficiency Center, the Municipalities of Rustavi and Tbilisi, and 2 private companies. Also, within ESIB project by Mrs. Karine Melkadze has been developed a catalogues of Technical Solution. It will help specialists carry out Energy Audits. Seminars on Energy Saving in Buildings for Georgian Journalists In December 2012 a training seminar for journalists on topic Specifics of Highlighting Energy Policy and Energy Efficiency in Buildings in Mass Media was held for the journalists of Georgia. The seminar was organized by the European Union s project Energy Saving Initiative in the Building Sector in Eastern Europe and Central Asia (ESIB) within the framework of the INOGATE program and the Delegation of the European Union to Georgia. The seminar was attended by 16 representatives of Georgian mass media, representatives of the municipality of Tbilisi and Ministry of Economy as well as by representatives of public organizations. Competition for the best article on Energy Efficiency in Buildings and Award Ceremony for Georgian Journalists 11 September, 2013 wasannounced and awarded the winner Georgian journalists The winners were awarded with relevant certificates and memorable prices by deputy ambassador of EU Delegation to Georgia.

15 Trainings about Energy Savings in Buildings Trainings for the representatives of Georgian HOA & Tbilisi City Hall and Council In September, 2013 the experts of Ukrainian ESIB project visited Tbilisi, Georgia in order to conduct the trainings for the representatives of Georgian HOA and Tbilisi City Hall and Council. The main of the trainings was to introduce the Georgian stakeholders about energy efficiency policy and the financial mechanisms for promotion of energy efficiency measures for residential and municipal buildings. Energy Audit of Multi-apartment Residential Building in Nadzaladevi/Temqa Sub-district Multi-apartment 9-storied one-section residential building built in 1978 consists of two identical units A and B connected to each other by a staircase. By decision of Tbilisi municipality was selected a residential building with identical units where is planning to implement heat insulation in one of the units with the objective of comparing actual results of heat consumption between the heat insulated unit and the unit without heat insulation. It is planned to monitor heat consumption and compare the data with the energy audit data. It is expected that upon receiving monitoring results and assessing actual energy saving, the same measures on heat insulation of unit B envelope will be carried out. Later on, this technical solution will be replicated at one-section residential buildings of Tbilisi, which were constructed based on the analogous design project.

16 Energy Audit of Tbilisi Demo Project List of energy saving activities for unit A Proposed energy saving activities 1 Heat insulation of walls 2 Heat insulation of roof (floor of attic) 3 Heat insulation of floor (ceiling of basement) 4 Installation of new metal plastic double glazed windows 5 Implementation of district heating and solar HWS system List of energy saving activities for unit B Proposed energy saving activities 1 Installation of metal plastic double glazed windows 2. Implementation of district heating and solar HWS system Environmental Benefits Altogether, the total reduction of carbon dioxide emissions for both units of the residential building will be ton/year.
